Jones Family Update

I figured it was time for our yearly blog update and there has been quite a lot going on! First, Steve got accepted to law school :) I am so proud of him, he worked really hard and did so well on the LSAT. He got accepted to four schools, mostly in California, and was wait listed for a few more. Currently the plan is BYU (yay!!!), but he is still holding out for some of the other top schools that he got put on the wait list. One being his dream school, Georgetown, and his other top picks are Virginia and Northwestern. I have to say that I just hope we don't hear back from them lol. My dream school for him is BYU.

Steve will be finished with his Communications major in August, he is finishing up with internship with KSL this summer. He really enjoys that, he mostly writes stories and goes out to interview people. Sadly he won't ever be on air.

I am still working at Young Living in customer service, this is going to be my fifth year which is crazy! I moved over to the Live Chat/email team last October and it is soooooo much better. I love not being on the phones anymore. And starting this week, I will begin working from home! I am really excited about that. I will have to work the swing shift now, which will take some getting used to, since I have been working at 6 AM for last couple of years. I will miss the people I work with though, I work with fun people. But I am going to save so much on gas, and no more driving through the Utah County construction mess everyday makes me really happy.


In other news...

We are expecting our first baby October 14th :) This is my 18 weeks picture, I haven't been doing well so far with taking weekly progress pictures. This was right after a Sunday nap and Steve failed to inform me of my messy hair lol. We are so excited to be having a baby and October just seems too far away :)

We don't find out the sex until June 4th sadly. Steve doesn't really have a preference, but I kind of want a boy to be the oldest. My brother just had a baby boy last October and my little sister is having a girl in June, so either way our baby will have a same sex cousin to play with :) It has been fun being pregnant the same time as my little sis and getting advice and hand me down maternity clothes :)

I love being pregnant, but it hasn't been all fun so far. I have had really bad morning all-day sickness since about 5 weeks. I think I have eaten enough saltine crackers to last a lifetime! My doctor gave me a prescription to help and it was so awesome being able to eat again and keep everything down. There are some not-so-desirable side effects, so I haven't been taking it as much anymore. Hopefully I won't need to take it all soon. Other than that it hasn't been bad at all! Compared to my sis, I'm showing a little faster than she did; I am a little shorter than she is. I think it is kind of fun getting bigger lol.

We are finally moving to a new apartment in July, I am so excited! Our apartment now isn't terrible, but the management isn't the best at fixing things and we've been here for 3 years already. We are moving to Wymount, which is BYU housing. Steve wasn't too excited about that, but I think it will be fun. It will be two bedrooms and a little bigger than what we have now. It is really close to campus as well so Steve can ride his bike to class everyday.

This summer has been good so far. I went to Arches with my family a couple of weeks ago. It was super windy, but the hikes were fun. Steve's internship is every Friday and Saturday, which will make summer vacations impossible :( But we are going to plan at least one weekly trip so he can come.

Now that we are having a baby I will have to better at blogging and taking pictures :)
